Order of the Golden Sabre

One of our Chauffeur’s roles is to serves Champagne to the Bride and Groom in the course of his duties, in this picture taken outside the popular wedding venue and famous WW2 code-breaking establishment - Bletchley Park, Ray is picking up tips from Master of Ceremonies and Toastmaster Ken Chaproniere.

Ken is a Chevalier Maitre-Sabreur of the order of the Golden Sabre – Le Confrérie de Sabre d’Or. Basically he is conversant in the ancient art of ‘Sabrage’ – this is opening a Champagne bottle with a Sabre! – It is a time honoured art and tradition started by cavalry officers in Napoleon’s army.

Whilst at Wedding-Car we are not going to employ the ‘Sabre’ and re-train our chauffeurs just yet (we will leave it to the expert) Ken explained that ‘Sabrage’ is a great way to start any party particularly a wedding reception.

The tradition goes particularly well at the moment before the cutting of the wedding cake by the bride and groom. The master of ceremonies calls for silence whilst the bride and groom ‘Sabrage’ a bottle of champagne. (The secret is to hit the champagne cork with the sabre at the correct angle and with the right degree of force in order to send the cork spectacularly flying through the air)!

Why not add something really special to your wedding reception – Something spectacular!

The Cotswolds Saunter - Triumph over Ford

For this event, we met up with other members of the Triumph Roadster Club and had a nice drive through the Cotswolds.

As you can see, the roads were a little on the damp side, however a great day was had by all with everyone making it safely back home again afterwards.

Quainton Classic Steam Rally

This year's ever popular Quainton Classic Steam Rally was hugely enjoyable!

The number of cars had increased from last year so there was a huge variety to see!

Luckily the weather held out all day too!

Quainton Railway Centre 2007

Once again the variety of cars on show here was impressive.

The trains were also great fun, particularly the miniature ones - tiny yet still strong enough to pull coaches with full sized people!

Well worth a visit if you happen to be in the area and like trains!

The Royal Egham Show

Two Triumph Roadsters were present at this event to draw in the crowds on an unusually sunny day!

Various other displays happened throughout the day, with the motorcycle team being particularly impressive.

A thoroughly enjoyable event to be recommended - we will certainly be back next time!
